Football fans from across Kansas and other parts of the country with connections with Kansas State and Pittsburg State are traveling to big college football games. On Saturday, the Pitt State fans are invading Florence, Ala., then after the first of the year, K-State fans are going in mass to Arlington, Texas.

Man, what a wonderful year of college football in Kansas. 

Butler County Community College went 11-1, won the Jayhawk Conference and NJCAA Region VI championships, won the Citizens Bank Bowl and finished ranked No. 2 in the NJCAA polls.

K-State’s Wildcats were the surprise of the Big 12 Conference. They went 10-2 overall, were 7-2 in Big 12 play, beat every Texas team in the conference and finished second behind Oklahoma State and in front of Oklahoma. Their reward was the 2012 Cotton Bowl.
